Velocità by Daily Auto Fix

EDITOR WELCOME

- By Ashley Perkins

Welcome to Issue 02 of Velocità by Daily Auto Fix! In the world of cars, it has been a very interestin­g period, especially here in Australia. Holden is leaving the Australian market, health concerns cancelled the Geneva Internatio­nal Motor Show, and Uber will have flying vehicles built by Hyundai doing trials shortly.

In this issue, I experience one of the most luxurious brands you can buy in Australia, and the world, as Rolls-Royce opens a showroom in Brisbane. I never fully understood why people buy vehicles as decadent as a Rolls-Royce is, but I can say I’m a convert.

As you’ll see across the page, we also talk to an interestin­g man with a fascinatin­g story of owning a Ferrari 250 GTO when he was nineteen. From encounters with Steve McQueen and driving up and down the Hollywood Hills, it’s a good read, and the accompanyi­ng podcast episode is a great listen.

Electric and hybrid vehicles dominate the news and the reviews this time, and it’s a big nod to where our car market is heading. Driving range is still very much a big part of the conversati­on, but affordabil­ity and range of choice have improved significan­tly, and I expect it to keep growing at a rapid rate.

If there’s a specific vehicle you’d like us to review or discuss, you can drop us a note to the email below: velocita@dailyautof­ix.com

Happy Driving!
